Philippine National Police(PNP)

Yesterday around 1pm, my old friend Margarette Becaldo (she’s a former teacher of my child) messaged me and asked of I can do cashin on gcash. Without a second thought, since she was my friend, I did her request and sent 14k to a certain number 09052153360 (Reian D.) and asked an additional 15k to 09518476182 (Marnie B.).  She told me she would pay me in the afternoon. I waited that afternoon until 5pm when I did not receive message from her so I looked for her husband’s account and saw his post that his wife’s account was being hacked.

I appreciate your response sir and I do hope we escalate this case so as to not tolerate these kind of people.  Let me know what you need from us so we may be able to cooperate in this matter.

Thank you so much!

These are the chat screenshots of the teacher (whom the account was hacked) and the gcash receipts with reference numbers to where the money was sent.

I also doubt, the account wasn’tbreally hacked and the teacher’s husband has something to do with this.  I find it really suspectful when he said he recovered her wife’s fb account very easy…
